Orlando

Friends often ask me, "YelloCello, if you were classic work of literature, which one would it be?" Funny they should ask...

Virginia Woolf: Orlando. You are a challenge, forouter events, the outside world, the time etc.play no importance to you. Your focus is inwriting, in gender issues, and inside your ownhead. Self-analysis and exploration of yourselfas well as the outer world hold greatimportance to you.

Hmmm, isn't the above a little contradicted? ("The outside world means nothing to you. No, wait! The outer world holds great importance to you.") Gee, and Quizilla is typically such a precise tool. No matter. I like the choice of book.

For the record, I also really like Tilda Swinton. Yet I've never seen the film version of Orlando (1992) in which she stars. Putting that on the Netflix queue now.

Thanks for alerting me to the comments glitch, New Kid. And yeah, I was just sick when I saw the glow of that burner the other night. But not as sick as I could have been. Am thanking benevolent powers AND the trooper frying pan.
